Description
This issue tracks all runs where threat detection flagged problems in agentic workflows in this repository. Each workflow run that completes with a detection warning or failure posts a comment here.
What is a Detection Problem?
A detection problem occurs when the threat detection system either:
- **Detects potential security threats** (prompt injection, secret leak, malicious patch)
- **Fails to produce results** (agent failure, parse error)
When `continue-on-error: true` (the default), these problems produce warnings and safe outputs still proceed. When `continue-on-error: false`, they block safe outputs entirely.
How This Helps
This issue helps you:
- Track workflows where threat detection raised concerns
- Review patterns of detection warnings or failures
- Identify false positives or recurring issues with threat detection
- Monitor the health of the threat detection system

> [!TIP]
> To configure threat detection behavior, update the frontmatter:
> ```yaml
> safe-outputs:
> threat-detection:
> continue-on-error: true # Warnings only (default)
> # continue-on-error: false # Strict mode — block safe outputs
> ```

Research direction
This is an automatically managed detection-run tracker; no repository file, test, or entry point is named. Do not modify or assign it, and investigate a specific warning or failure only if a separate actionable issue identifies one.
